Are Miami Dolphins playoff-bound?

It all seemed to be going so wrong for the Miami Dolphins. Local kid Giovani Bernard had just scored on a staggering 35-yard run, squaring the game at 17 and giving the visiting -- and Halloween-dressed -- Cincinnati Bengals much fourth-quarter momentum. But the Fins stood strong, got to overtime and then ... bam. A walk-off safety. On an 8-yard sack by Cameron Wake. Does this win -- its first in five games -- launch Miami back into the playoff race? What to make of the Bengals, who lost Geno Atkins to a knee injury?
